Young lefty with legit arm speed and a proven strike-throwing track record
Gillies is a 2026 second-year left-hander for Eastern Michigan who brings a compact 6-foot, 180-pound frame, a loose arm, and the kind of athleticism that usually hints at more coming. In high school in the 2025 season, he logged 50 innings with a 6-3 record, 2.00 ERA, and 77 strikeouts while holding opponents to .177, and scouting notes praised his clean, high-3/4 delivery and advanced arm speed. He already has Division I experience, so the upside is real, but he still looks like a developmental arm with room to grow into a larger role.
